Full-time actor

Chapter 444 [9] My father-in-law is serious!
“Thank you to the organizers!”

"Thank you to all the creators of "House of Flying Daggers" both present and absent..."

"..."

Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping stood in front of the podium and spoke excitedly in Chinese.

Zhang Ziyi on the side acted as a translator.

Chen Yu and Liu Dehua were holding the Golden Globe trophy for best foreign language film in their hands and watching carefully.

A small golden ball is inlaid on the top of the trophy, with the English logo of the organizer of the Golden Globe Awards engraved below. On the surface of the golden ball, a roll of golden film is surrounded, shining under the stage lights, symbolizing The brilliance of the film career.

Best Foreign Language Film, which is the highest honor for films shot outside the United States, is a collective award for all creative staff.

If there is only a director and no actors, photography, post-production, etc., then the film will not be complete; if there are only actors, that is even worse.

Therefore, in any award ceremony, the best film will be awarded as the most important award.

This is recognition of the film and the recognition of all the creative staff.

"This is a victory for our entire team, and it is also an affirmation and encouragement from Hollywood to our Chinese movies and martial arts movies. I hope that our team can make more and better movies in the future!"

"Let us all make our due contribution to the maintenance, exchange and understanding of different countries, cultures and ethnic groups!"

"Thank you!"

Zhang Yimou shook the trophy in front of him and ended his speech. The foreigners present once again gave warm applause and cheers.

There were even whistlers.

It can only be said that the awards ceremony in the United States is relatively open.

“Finally, we won’t end up empty-handed!”

After walking off the stage, Lao Mouzi sat down and couldn't help but smile at Chen Yu and others.

Zhang Weiping next to him had already opened the champagne on the table: "Come on, let's go!"

"Go one by one!"

Even Chen Yu poured a glass directly to celebrate each other's hard-won award. In addition to the credit of Lao Mouzi and the main creators, Zhang Weiping actually also contributed a lot; for this best foreign language film, public relations The fee should be quite a lot.

Obviously Lao Zhang also spent a lot of money.

Of course, this is also where he should contribute. "House of Flying Daggers" made him the largest investment in his life, with a global box office of more than 3 million US dollars, and tens of millions in revenue from the DVD market.

With the award for Best Foreign Language Film, the disc is expected to sell even more hotly.

This is much more cost-effective than the best director. Zhang Weiping has to say that he is a very standard businessman who maximizes profits; the best director is at most the icing on the cake for Lao Mouzi, because everyone knows his directorial ability.

As for the best foreign language film, this is an out-and-out highest praise, enough to be recorded in the history of Chinese film history.

What's more, the popularity of "House of Flying Daggers" this time also caused the theater chain to make concessions again, increasing the share between the theater chain and the film studio to 43%!

This is what Zhang Weiping fought for, and it will definitely be beneficial to the film industry in the long run; it just hurts the people who watch movies, because the ticket price has been raised by another 5 yuan by the theater chain.

2002年张艺谋的《英雄》上映之前，国产电影在一线城市的最低票价是25元，二线三线是10-15元起步；但从《英雄》开始涨至30元；《十面埋伏》之后，现在北上广深更是已经变成了35元。

"Kung Fu" has such a high box office after its release, and this 5 yuan price increase obviously plays a major role.

In later generations, the box office occasionally exceeded 10 million or even 2 billion. That was because the ticket price was raised twice by theaters, reaching an average price of 45 yuan; IMAX was even more outrageous.

Therefore, the Chinese audience is the cornerstone of the development of the film industry.

The best movie-watching group in the world, this has been certified by the whole world; movies from any country have a market and profit in China. Unlike the United States, which excludes this and that, Chinese people can really be of any culture. Understand and tolerate.

Movies from India, Japan, South Korea, Hollywood, Europe... any country have become hits in China.

Of course, it is precisely because the audience is so talkative that many people have turned to directors. Sketch movies, marketing movies, script-killing movies, and scam movies have become popular, making the entire movie environment uneven.

"Best Actress!"

Zhang Ziyi murmured there, with a different kind of light shining in her eyes.

Just now while Chen Yu was thinking and drinking champagne, three more awards were awarded.

The only difference between the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars is that they are divided into two categories: Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Picture.

What has just been awarded is the Best Actor and Actor in the Musical Comedy category and the Best Picture. Next, there are the three awards for the feature film - Best Actor and Actor and Best Drama Film.

The former three awards are actually of average value and are relatively recognized in the United States. However, the three awards that are touted by the media around the world are mostly for feature films.

Scarlett Johansson "A Love Song for Bobby Long"

Nicole Kidman "Rebirth"

Almeida Staunton "Vera Drake"

Hilary Swank, "Million Dollar Baby"

Uma Thurman "Kill Bill 2"

……

The nominees for Best Actress in a Feature Film popped up one by one on the stage screen at the Golden Globe Awards; this lineup was a bit exaggerated, but it was no less impressive than the nominees for Best Actor who were about to be awarded.

But what is shocking is that none of the top three popular actors won the Best Actress.

"Hilary Swank's Million Dollar Baby!"

When award presenter Schwarzenegger announced the final list of winners, Zhang Ziyi also looked incredulous. It's "Million Dollar Baby" again, she defeated the widowed sister, Nicole in her prime, and "Kill Bill"!
"What a surprise!"

Zhang Ziyi shook her head and smiled bitterly, but Chen Yu knew that "Million Dollar Baby" was not only the biggest winner at this Golden Globe, but also won four Oscars. "Million Dollar Baby" also won four awards.

This is just the beginning. Hilary Swank is about to win the Oscar. "Million Dollar Baby" also won the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director. It simply had the last laugh.

Movies that inspire women have always been the mainstream in the American awards category.

Not to mention that feminism is not popular now, but after 2010, this movie will completely destroy the Golden Globe and Oscar jury seats.

Of course, the success of this movie is inseparable from its director, a legend in the American film industry, Eastwood, who just won the Best Director. This old man’s movies and actors have successfully reached the top, and won the Oscar for Best Actor and Best Director. .

What's even more awesome is that in his previous life, when he was over 90 years old, he was still directing and starring in films. He can be called a role model in the industry. He really has loved this career his whole life.

After awarding the Best Actress, the next step is the Best Actor in the Drama category.

Chen Yu, Javier Bardem, Don Chandler, Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, Liam Neeson!
Six people were present, and every time the host read a name, the audience burst into loud cheers.

On the big screen behind him, exciting movie highlights of the six protagonists in six films popped up. In the upper right corner were their expressions and movements sitting in the audience at the moment; Chen Yu's shortlisted highlights were, of course, his fights.

"Oh oh oh~~~~"

Countless people watched Chen Yu's dazzling fighting moves on the big screen, and they all screamed enthusiastically and applauded incomparably.

"Chen Yu!"

The host called out the last shortlisted spot, and Chen Yu stood up and waved to everyone present with a smile.

This is a routine session, and just now Li Zi also accepted the "admiration" of countless people!
"So nervous!"

Zhang Ziyi put her hands on her chest and said to Chen Yu; Chen Yu smiled indifferently: "It's the same as your nomination. If nothing else, DiCaprio should win it!"

CAA's acumen in this regard is obviously good, and since Xiao Li Zi is their co-artist, they will definitely receive some information in advance.

Sure enough, as award presenter Stallone presented the list of winners, the light finally focused on DiCaprio's head.

The 62nd American Golden Globe Award for Best Actor - Leonardo DiCaprio "The Aviator"!
DiCaprio finally won his first Best Actor Award in the United States.

Previously, he was awarded the title of Emperor of Berlin with "Romeo and Juliet" in 97, and now it is regarded as the second more important trophy in his life.

Countless people shouted at him, which is enough to show how popular this guy is in the United States.

Chen Yu was also there applauding without any dissatisfaction; his acting skills in "House of Flying Daggers" were indeed not enough to defeat DiCaprio in "The Aviator"!

"It's time for a winning role!"

Chen Yu has actually contacted a Japanese agency. If nothing happens after the new year, he should be filming "The Embalmer"!
But before that, he had to experience the profession of an undertaker.

The funeral systems in Japan and China are completely different. Since we want to film real things, we must conduct on-site inspections; Chen Yu also took advantage of this period of time to settle down his performance and roles.

"The King of Soldiers" can only let Ye Weixing finish the pre-shooting first. As for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Chen Yu still has about a month less to play.

There will definitely be no time before the Chinese New Year, so I can only wait until around April or May to join Liu Yifei again.

At that time, it was almost the end of "The Condor".

Just when Chen Yu was secretly planning because he didn't win the Golden Globe Award, the last award of this year's Golden Globe Awards - Best Feature Film, was finally awarded.

"House of Flying Daggers" unfortunately missed the award, and "The Aviator" again beat "Million Dollar Baby" and other masterpieces to win the final award.

So far, the 62nd American Golden Globe Awards has come to an end.

Countless winners were surrounded by congratulatory relatives and friends, and Richard also came over to congratulate Chen Yu.

It was shortlisted for 5 categories and finally won the Best Foreign Language Film award. At least there was something to gain.

Not surprisingly, tomorrow will be another day of headlines all over the Internet.

"Come on, let's continue next year!"

It was almost 12 noon Chinese time, and Liu Yifei had obviously watched the entire live broadcast of the Golden Globe Awards; she still felt a little regretful that Chen Yu did not win the award.

However, there were too many shortlisted people but not winners, so I immediately sent a message of condolences.

"There are plenty of opportunities!"

Chen Yu answered the text message, holding a glass filled with champagne in his hand, chatting with many people he knew and didn't know.

Soon the dinner was over.

Chen Yu said goodbye to Richard, and in the early morning of the next day, he, Lao Mouzi, and Liu Dehua got on a plane flying to Xiangjiang.

None of the group had any plans to have fun. In addition to visiting Mei Yanfang, Chen Yu and Hua Zai had to return to the Imperial Capital immediately to attend the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala, so time was obviously very tight.

buzz-

Just when Chen Yu got on the plane and was about to shut down his phone, a message reminder from Liu Xiaoli popped up on his phone.

It is already night time in China.

"Xiao Chen, Sissi's father wants to meet you during the Chinese New Year. Do you have time?"

"..."

Looking at the text message Liu Xiaoli suddenly sent, Chen Yu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Damn it, my father-in-law finally found out that he and Liu Yifei were in love? !
